Supported Protocol Offload (TOE / iSCSI) Adapters
Standard Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters are supported when used with supported
software iSCSI initiators. Hosts must have a standards compliant iSCSI initiator to access MD
Series storage. Initiator support is provided by the initiator/operating system vendor. Dell
PowerVault does not support Converged Network Adapters (CNA) in Converged mode.
Although PowerVault does not endorse or support initiators directly, this support matrix
provides some useful configuration information for common initiators.
Dell's PowerVault MD Series Arrays will work with any RFC 3720 iSCSI compliant initiators.
The initiator MUST support all mandatory iSCSI features (IPSec is not required). This
information is subject to change without notice. Dell is not responsible for any errors in this
information. Hardware initiators are not expressly supported by Dell.
Also be sure to read the initiator documentation and release notes from the particular
vendors, as well as the MD Series release notes for up to date configuration
recommendations.
